Thread Scribbling

My art practice primarily involves making tactile and detailed art quilts using a semi-industrial sewing machine as my main drawing tool. To create varied outcomes, my methods also encompass a broad range of materials and approaches including canvas, fabric, bag batting, discharge and ink painting, acrylic markers, photography and printmaking. My process is typically improvisational, enabling unexpected outcomes. I find a certain pleasure in allowing the work to evolve unexpectedly as I create. 

Old Girls, Teas and Gums

A completed and sold work I started at my first Henry Jones Artist Residency. As can be seen from the video, larger works with non flexible primed canvas can be somewhat difficult to manage.

The below image shows what my work looks like when free floated in a frame.
